Sewer project finally okayed
After several years of
debate and pleading with the
ministry of the environment,
Grand Bend will get its
sanitary sewers with con
struction starting as early as
January.
Grand Bend council met
Monday night with Bill
Ewing
Limited, consulting
engineers to the project and
with Bill Ramsdend. senior
project engineer with the
ministry.
Ramsdend told council
that the ministry intends to
tender for the project as soon
as possible.
He said tenders for
construction of the main
pumping station and the
sewers that are to be in
stalled north of the river and
Highway 81 and possibly the
construction of the sewage
lagoons should be open
sometime in December.
Installation of sewers
Highway 21 north of
the intersection, the village’s
main street and the beach
road will receive the highest
priority with work on those
areas being completed
before the May 24 weekend.
Both councillor Bill Baird
and Reeve Bob Sharen ex
pressed opinions that a
penally clause be inserted
into the contract to ensure
that construction in these
areas was completed before
the big May weekend. (
Ramsdend said he could
see little purpose in having
such a clause included. He
did say that if U did appear

overall price
individually
tendering for
installation.
Estimated
project is between $3.1 and
$3.5 million with the ministry
paying $2 million. The
village will be responsible
for 25 percent of the cost,
Sharen said later.
The tendering procedure
for the first phases of the
work could -be delayed
somewhat unless three
easements from property
owners in the Gibbs sub-1
division are obtained, said
Ewing.
Ramstend told council that
a completion date for the
project has not been set but
that it will be one of items
included in the tender.
He did say that the portion
of the system north of the
river could start operation
independent of the system
south of the river once the
lagoons and pumping
stations are constructed.
In an interview later,
Ewing, told the Times
Advocate that he’s hopeful ■
that the complete system
can be operational sometime
during 1980.
At the meeting it was
agreed that a liaison com
mittee be established to
discuss the problems that
will arise when construction
begins.
Following the meeting, at
least one council member
found it hard to believe that
the municipality was finally
going to have sewers.
He asked Ramstend, “Is
this a definite go?”
Ramstend replied “It’s as
definite as we can go.”

While the question of
’services for the proposed
Walden subdivision is still up
in the air, a draft plan for the
subdivision to be located just
outside of Grand Bend, has
been approved by the
ministry of housing.
The approval is subject to
thirteen conditions being
lived up to, among those that
it will be a single family
development, five percent of
the total land area be set
aside for park use or that an
alternative agreement be
worked out with Stephen and
water and sewer services be
obtained from the
municipality.
The provision of services
has turned out to be a bone of
contention with Grand Bend
accusing Stephen of failing
to act on the matter.
Acknowledging
numerous differences of
opihion which have cropped
up between the township and
Grand Bend recently, Reeve
Bob Sharen said “We’re
tired of getting used (by
Stephen)."
Bill Ramsdend of the
ministry of the environment
who was in attendance on
another matter, was asked
by Sharen why the ministry
of housing could not force,
. the village, the township and
the subdivider to sign a three
party agreement which
would force Stephen to
request that Grand Bend
supply the services and
allow the village to collect
the costs incurred in ser
vicing the subdivision.
Ramsdend replied that he
couldn’t speak on behalf of
the ministry of housing but
suggested ,that Grand Bend
could request Stephen to
collect the subdivision fees
for them or that an'
agreement between the
individual property owners
in the subdivision and the
village could be signed.
He said that the ministry
of the environment would be
upset if Grand Bend chose
not to service the subdivision
but they would not expect the
village to service the
development for nothing.
Council will seek a
meeting with Thames Valley
Recycling of London to
discuss the possibility of the
firm picking up newspaper
and glass in the community*.
Sharen said the firm would
be operational in Exeter and
thought that it had potential.
